NEW YORK, N.Y. Michael Cera released an indie folk album last week — quietly, in a way almost as unassuming as the actor himself.
"I would record a lot of the songs in the middle of the night just at home. I never thought anyone would ever listen to them," he said in an interview Thursday. "It's really nice that people are paying any attention to it because there's a lot of stuff to listen to."
The 26-year-old, whose TV and film credits include "Arrested Development," "Juno" and "Superbad," dropped the 18-song album, "true that," on the Bandcamp website on Aug. 8. He said he was "bored a few days ago" and decided to make a page on the website for people to check out his music.
It went largely overlooked until his acting buddy Jonah Hill tweeted a link Wednesday.
The album, which streams for free and costs $7 to download, is made up of airy, folky tracks, some just wordless fragments, some more fully fleshed out. Some songs are covers and others have borrowed sound, ranging from a TV reporter swearing after swallowing a bug to a piece of dialogue lifted from the 1973 film "O Lucky Man!" starring Malcolm McDowell.
"I think it has some value in that sense. It's honest. It's just an effort," Cera said, adding that he created the songs with GarageBand software. "I'm limited by many things — my abilities, my imagination and my technology."
Cera said the album's quiet launch was a nod from Beyonce's playbook. The pop diva released her top-selling self-titled album last year without the public knowing.
"I didn't want anyone to take it seriously or think that I was taking it seriously by it being a big thing," said Cera, who sang backing vocals and played mandolin on Weezer's 2010 album, "Hurley."
"It's there now. Now people can hear the stuff I've spent time with and care about for a long time."
Cera, who is preparing to make his Broadway debut next month opposite Kieran Culkin and Tavi Gevinson in Kenneth Lonergan's play "This Is Our Youth," said making music is relaxing and fun to do with friends, but he never planned on a recording career.
"A friend of mine said to me, 'I think you're too careful with your music.' I thought that was a nice, honest criticism from a friend," he said.
"He was right."

"When the griot dies, it is as if the library has burned to the ground," Alex Haley wrote in the acknowledgments to his groundbreaking book Roots.
I thought the quote made for a perfect lede to the editorial tribute I wrote in the Boston Globe when Haley died in 1992.
My editor saw it differently. He had never heard of the word "griot," which refers to the person in the African village who keeps the oral history alive, whether through stories or music. At that time, the word was not in the dictionary.
The lead I ended up with was another quote from Haley:
"'For the last decade. I haven't been a writer. I've been the author of Roots. I've got to write,' Alex Haley lamented in an interview that appears in this month's issue of Essence magazine. Haley had just begun to do that when his life was cut short by a heart attack."
That I managed to get Essence magazine in the lead of a Globe editorial is pretty impressive. Nevertheless, 20 years later, I still bristle at the conversation with my editor.
I also wrote that "Roots inspired persons of all backgrounds throughout the world to research their family trees."
He also can take some credit for inspiring at least the titles of The Root and The Griot, two major blogs focused on the African American experience.
Haley would have celebrated his 91st birthday this weekend.

First time Audi owner, now BIG time Audi fan, but
By Jnaga on Sunday, January 20, 2019With the exception of my very first car, a used '67 VW Bug, I've exclusively purchased Japanese cars all my life. I have done so primarily because I'm a Consumer Reports kind of nerd and have always placed a high premium on reliability, practicality and affordability. But after several methodical test drives, I was absolutely wowed by and ultimately fell in love with the new A5 Sportback. Even now, after 14 months of ownership, I still get that boyish sense of exhilaration nearly every time I get behind the wheel. But, in the spirit of full disclosure, I do have a few small quibbles that I will dispense with prior to elaborating on my many likes. First, rear and side visibility leaves something to be desired, an issue that is further exacerbated by its sloped rear window design. In addition, the side view mirrors are also fairly small and the view out the rear side passenger windows is similarly compromised. Luckily, it has a well-designed blind spot monitoring system to help compensate for those deficiencies. Nevertheless, when making lane changes, I often feel like I'm executing them more on faith than on confident visibility of a clear and safe travel path. Second, upfront interior storage is nearly nonexistent. There appears to have been only a halfhearted attempt to provide in-console storage, which amounts to a tiny, shallow bin that has only a partially enclosing lid—one that doesn't fully conceal the few articles one is able to fit in it. And unlike other cars in this class, there's no dedicated compartment in which to store sunglasses, forcing you to be creative with where you choose to stow them. On top of all that, the cup holders are placed so close to the center dash controls that they can barely hold anything larger than a small water bottle or a medium size drink before interfering with the use of those controls. So no Big Gulps allowed in this A5's cozy cockpit! The interior is sleek and stylish, if not a bit spartan. And while definitely upscale, it doesn't seem to me to have quite the same luxurious feel of its Japanese or domestic rivals. Just the same, it's easy to find a comfortable driving position and the leather seats are pleasantly supportive, if not a bit on the firm side. The moonroof has a mesh screen closure that lets filtered sunlight through, which on occasion can be both annoying and a bit uncomfortable when the sun is hovering directly overhead in the summer. Personally, I would have preferred something completely opaque. Now for the positives. I absolutely love driving it! For a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo, it has plenty of pep yet gets commendable gas mileage for a car in this class. It grips the road exceptionally well, moves smoothly and effortlessly through traffic and is supremely confident in its handling. Aesthetically, this is a sublimely beautiful car, especially in the Brilliant Black exterior finish I opted for, which has subtle metallic overtones. In my opinion, the hatchback version of the A5 is one of the sharpest looking vehicles in Audi's current "accessibly priced" lineup, save perhaps for the A7, which was unfortunately out of my personal price range. Admittedly, a lot of my interior quibbles would likely have been addressed in the A7, but that would have set me back another $25-30k! As for rear storage, this hatchback is amazing! The rear seats lay nearly complely flat (no large transitional hump, as with most other sedans) and the rear opening is cavernous, making our frequent trips to Sam's Club, and the attendant need to stuff various jumbo-sized items in the back, a real breeze. Rear storage in the hatchback version of the A5 is truly amazing for a car this size and really helped to bridge my craving for the svelte aesthetics of a sports sedan while appeasing my desire for the practicality of an SUV. One small quibble here is that you can't close the rear hatch from inside the cabin. A peculiar oversight to be sure, especially since such functionality is commonplace in virtually all SUVs outfitted with a power lift gate. As for the optional Bang and Olufsen sound system, I have just two words to say to you fellow audiophiles out there—GET IT! It sounds absolutely amazing! I don't recall how much I paid for it, but I don't really care, because whatever it cost, it was worth it. It turns my commute to and from work as well as our frequent long car trips around east Texas into truly joyful listening experiences. My only beef here, and it's small, is that there is no midrange control for the equalizer—yet, curiously, the Audi sound engineers saw it fit to incorporate separate controls for both the bass and subwoofer. Go figure. In addition to an adjustable control to finely modulate the surround sound effect, it also has an additional sound modification feature known as "3D Effect", which allows you to further augment the ambiance of your music and give it even more of a concert hall feel. At least I think that was its purpose. Lastly, the tech in this car, including the "virtual cockpit" option (which I highly recommend!), is fantastic! Those Audi design engineers have thoroughly thought this car through and made it one of the most forward thinking cars on the market today. One peculiar oversight, however, and for me this was more than a bit of an annoyance considering the price point of this car, is the lack of a digital readout for tire PSI. A bit disappointing for a car that seems to address nearly every conceivable technophile's whim—and then some. For lack of time and space, I can't do justice to all the amazing and worthwhile tech and safety features this car has incorporated into it, but trust me, it's mind boggling! It has truly been an awe-inspiring journey of discovery. In point of fact, the tech features in this car can sometimes be so engrossing that it can be downright distracting—if you let it. Just the same, if you're in the market for a performance-oriented sports sedan yet yearn for the greater practicality of an SUV, I would highly encourage you to test drive this car—repeatedly. It'll take more than a casual romp or two to truly appreciate the wealth of features this exceptional vehicle has to offer. But be sure to find a knowledgeable salesperson who can properly demonstrate the myriad thoughtful design features this car has to offer. Then, compare it to other similarly priced Japanese, German and domestic sports sedans out there. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Very comfortable, stylish, and nice performing car
By Mr. T on Thursday, September 17, 2020My A5 is the new for 2018 Sportback. My wife and I have loved this car. It is a combination of fun, comfort, style. Ours is loaded with everything and we use it all. The car's interior tech systems are very comprehensive and intuitive. It's fairly quiet for a low-to-the-road car. I used to have a BMW and this car is total comparable as a roadster. We have to set an alarm to go off at 85 mph or you'll get going pretty fast before you know it. My BMW was that way but my Audi will get to the speed a lot quicker. Trunk is great & rear seats fold down if you need more room. Paint is the one fault for me as I have a black car and they show gravel chips at lot more that others. This car does chip and Audi accepts no responsibility. My car could be a one-in-a-thousand or not. I don't know because I have not seen another 1000 black A5 Sportback's to compare to.

These look absolutely delicious!
I just came upon your blog since I was googling other "teenager blogs" about cooking and I love, love, love yours!
I just started a cooking blog of my own, and hopefully mine will last as long as yours has, filled with amazing recipes!
Hi Elissa! Thank you for this lovely post and cookie recipe. I made an adaptation of this last night (using coconut oil because I had it on hand). I also used Grade B maple syrup. Everyone in the office thought it was lovely.
[…] – 17 and Baking: Soft Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies […]
I made these for the second time tonight and they are the best!! I think this is the first time I've commented but I really enjoy your blog–keep up the good work! :)
Ooo yum!! I'm making these for the first time tonight, they look absolutely delicious! Peanut butter cookies are one of my favorite and vegan makes them even better!
When do you add in the milk? The directions do not list that.
your blog is wonderful. i love reading the short little stories that go along with each post. i was directed here from bakebakebake community for your Maple Pots de Crème recipe & predict that i'll be surfing through your site for the next hour or so. i'm 23 & just started getting into baking and your clear instructions & absolutely delicious photos are so tantalising. i hope you never stop blogging about your baking adventures! :)
I thought these tasted ok, but I also forgot to add the milk, as this is not mentioned in the recipe…
Might have contributed.
I love, love, love your blog. I am going to try these cookies tonight. I love baking with whole wheat flour. Also, I added you to my favorite blog list on my blog, check it out, I am sure you'd love some of the healthy recipes! :)
I love this recipe!!! They look truly amazing. My sisters and I awarded you the versatile blogger award. Hope to see you over there!
[…] *Adapted from 17 and baking. […]
Peanut butter cookies are a favorite of mine. I can't wait.
[…] Adapted from 17 and Baking […]
Thank you! I've been craving peanut butter cookies that I used to make over 15 years ago, but since have changed my diet… your recipe fits perfectly! Can't wait to feel them melting in my mouth!
I really wanted to make these but didn't have some of the ingredients. They aren't in the oven yet but I've been munching it raw and it's so good! Here's what I did. I subbed in 1/2 a cup of brown sugar because I have no syrup, skipped the vanilla because I'm all out, used sunflower oil because I have no olive oil, used water in place of almond milk because the last of that went in my coffee this morning and then only used 1 cup of course whole wheat flour and it's thick enough. I don't have anything to sprinkle on top so I'm going to skip that part too. So basically I'm not really making your recipe but you gave me the basic idea of how to make whole wheat vegan cookies with natural peanut butter, which was my goal, so thanks!
Making me drool!
Thank You for the Recipe! Trying it now! Someone may have already posted this, but I noticed that the recipe directions don't state when to put the milk in. Looking forward to some yummy cookies! Thanks again!
[…] Peanut Butter Apple Bars (adapted from Elissa at 17 & Baking) […]
[…] Being that I'm perpetually on a health/vegan kick, I was super excited to find a recipe I pinned months ago for Soft Whole Wheat Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies. […]
I can't tell you how many pb cookie recipes i've done (it's sad really) and I know I'm obsessed with them.
And here to find another one to try–I'm overjoyed. lol
What would be your thoughts on using coconut oil in these?

[…] Soft Whole wheat peanut butter cookie – Vegan! – Recipe –>> 17 and Baking. […]
These were so yummy and light! Thanks for the recipe. I didn't use olive oil since the Whole Foods 365 brand peanut butter is so oily, and the cookies were fantastic.
Tried making these with plain white flour (could not find any whole wheat flour in my local baking supplies store at the time). still turned out yummy though it did not taste as sweet or peanut buttery as I'd hoped. Perhaps it was the quality of my maple syrup. Shall adding dark brown sugar next time.
Made these today to take to a church pot luck tomorrow. The raw dough is so yummy! Can't wait till they are baked!

What Everyone Should Know About Equal Opportunity in Housing
The sale and purchase of a home is one of the most significant events that any person will experience in their lifetime. It is more than the simple purchase of housing, for it includes the hopes, dreams, aspirations, and economic destiny of those involved.
The Law
Civil Rights Act of 1866
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property.
Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act declares a national policy of fair housing throughout the United States. The law makes illegal any discrimination in the sale, lease or rental of housing, or making housing, otherwise unavailable, because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
The Responsibilities
The home seller, the home seeker, and the real estate professional all have rights and responsibilities under the law.
For the Home Seeker
You have the right to expect that housing will be available to you without discrimination or other limitations based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
This includes the right to expect:
- Housing in your price range made available to you without discrimination
- Equal professional service
- The opportunity to consider a broad range of housing choices
- No discriminatory limitations on communities or locations of housing
For the Real Estate Professional
As a home seller or home seeker, you should know that the term REALTOR® identifies a licensed professional in real estate who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. Not all licensed real estate brokers and salespersons are members of the National Association, and only those who are can identify themselves as REALTORS®. They conduct their business and activities in accordance with a strict Code of Ethics. As agents in a real estate transaction, licensed brokers or salespersons are prohibited by law from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familiar status, or national origin. A request from the home seller or landlord to act in a discriminatory manner in the sale, lease or rental cannot legally be fulfilled by the real estate professional.

Alternative History lecturer latest audio release in his humorous and unpretentious style digging up some shocking and enlightening stuff in history. 2 CDs that never fail to entertain and educate. Howard Zinn is unparalled in his ability to recover stories of people who fought back, people who went against the grain of their time and made a difference. His People's History of the United States has become a classic of retelling history from the bottom up.(And is being made into a film or TV miniseries produced by Matt Damon). Zinn takes us back to the early decades of the 20th century, and through a focus on Emma Goldman and Sacco & Vanzetti, opens windows on immigrant life and labor struggles of the day, the political scalliwags and cold-hearted tycoons. And around our central characters are a cast as colorful as that of any novel — Dr. Ben Reitman, the hobo doctor of Chicago, who went from janitor at the medical school to dean and devoted his practice to hobos and street people and was Emma Goldman's lover for over a decade; or Alexander Berkman, who served 17 years in federal prison for attempting to assassinate Carnegie's manager Frick and was later deported with Goldman.
OTHER TITLES: A People's History of the United States CD (Virus 224), Soon available : Stories Hollywood Never Tells
AUTHOR INFO: Howard Zinn is one of America's best known, most beloved and best selling historians. He is professor emeritus at Boston University.
Released together with AK Press

Cars We Remember: Reader remembers 'Uncle Emil's' 1954 Chrysler Imperial
Q: Hi Greg, I read your columns every week and enjoy them. My mom and dad got married in 1935, and I was told my uncle Emil drove them to and from the church in a beautiful 1934 Chrysler 4-door sedan. This was in Rochester, New York.
Uncle Emil always loved the Chrysler vehicles and since he lived one block from work at a Chrysler dealership, his Chryslers never had much mileage on them as he walked to and from the dealership.
When I was 18-years-old back in 1954, uncle Emil came to visit us one day in a brand new, real shiny 1954 Chrysler Imperial. I told him "that Imperial must have cost a lot of money," to which he said "not a dime!"
Somehow or other, the dealer (he worked for) wanted to keep it for a museum in Detroit and uncle Emil took care of the car for him until it went to the museum. I don't remember when he had to return that '54 Imperial to the dealer, but it sure was a great deal as he did have it for a long time.
Anyway, I feel my uncle Emil was a car collector from back then as he sure loved his Chryslers. I moved to Georgia in 2009 from Palmyra, New York and still get the newspaper from New York that carries your column. I've been a car nut since 1946 and I have an old scrapbook filled with pictures of cars from magazines from the 1940s until 1952, when I got my very first ever "hot rod" 1938 Dodge.
Thanks again for all you fun columns on cars.
— Theodor J. Aeckerle, Cumming, Georgia
A: Theodor, thanks so much for your handwritten letter and kind words. I'm sure your uncle Emil was quite the car lover and it sure rubbed off on you.
As for that 1954 Chrysler Imperial, it was quite the luxury car although never as popular as Cadillac and Lincoln. The original price of a '54 Imperial was somewhere in the neighborhood of $4,260 for the Imperial Custom. These were the standard size, six-passenger Imperials as opposed to the seven-passenger and Limousine models which were designated the Imperial Crown.
Today, a nice condition 1954 Imperial Custom will probably bring a high retail of $14,000 or more at an auction according to current NADA Classic car prices. The limousine style Crown models originally cost $6,900 and would probably do closer to $15,400 or so in top condition nowadays. The average retail prices today are in the $4,600 on the low range to $8,500 average retail for these cars, so they sure haven't made much of an impact on serious collectors as to collector car appreciation.
As for the Imperial models overall, although the Imperial brand goes all the way back to 1926 when Chrysler built the car to compete with other luxury brands, the Imperial dates up to the 1990-1993 years when Chrysler reintroduced the Imperial after a 7-year hiatus on the smaller front-drive Y-platform chassis.
Personally, I most remember those grand Imperials from the late 1950s through the 1960s, and then the 1981-1983 Imperials. One year after your uncle Emil came to your house with the 1954 Chrysler Imperial, the Imperial then became a stand-alone model in 1955 and did not carry any Chrysler badges.
However, although the Chrysler dealers did have specific Imperial signage, there were no standalone Imperial dealers to help justify the car as being "different enough" from, say, a Chrysler New Yorker. Today, if you ask most car enthusiasts, they still regard the Imperial as a "Chrysler Imperial."
Thanks again for your letter Theodor and may God Bless you. Have fun with your scrapbook memories and reading this column.

- New function
- Only permitted to JSF and JPA, and on a case by case approval basis from the PMC. David any update on approval process?
- Copyright Tools - Let's plan to run the eclipse copyright tool to ensure all files have a proper copyright before we declare M6.
- Amy - There are two versions of the tool, regular and advanced. The regular only works with the IBM copyright, so if you want to use a different copyright you need to use advanced. It did a good job of ignoring files which already had copyrights.

Performance Tests
- Known Issues
- Switch the 2.0 performance tests baseline to be the latest 1.5.x
- The XSD and WSDL tests are not running. Adding them causes the suite to hang. Needs investigation.
- The baseline test needs to be rerun each week to eliminate false "hiccups" in performance.
- Action Items
- Improve the UI readability and cohesiveness of the output result pages
- Assign component lead ownership to the specific test suites
- Improve the actual tests. Why do some take so long? Why do some results fluctuate? Why do some have 160% performance degradations? Are the tests even still valid?
- Allow committers to reliably and efficiently run perfomance suites in the workspace before checking in code
- Add JSF and JPA performance JUnits

- All API Requests (9)
Working Groups
- Java EE 5 - Chuck - The goals below are attainable and progress is being made. Import/Export will not make M6, but will drop in RC0 with approval.
- JEE5 Scenarios
- Priorities:
- Runtime support for JEE5 modules - If we have a JEE5 module (Web 2.5/EJB3/EAR) we should be able to run it on servers (Tomcat/Geronimo/Glassfish). Having the server adapters ready to support these modules will also be important, especially for EJB3 and EAR5.
- JEE 5 Model extensibility - This issue has been addressed by Chuck.
- Editing and Tools support: I do not believe our editors(and tools like wizards etc.) will be ready to have full JEE5 support by 2.0.
- Axis2
- Kathy?
- Website
- Bob F? Bob: Just getting back after relocating to California. Conversion of Dali pages should be finished soon.
Other business?

Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is good for you. But you already knew that. The problem is keeping a refrigerator stocked with fresh produce can be both costly and inconvenient.
But what if you had clean, living produce — produce you grew yourself — just steps away from your kitchen? You'd probably eat more of it, right?
Spoiler alert: yep.
In fact, research has proven that people (and children, in particular) eat what they grow. Speaking of eating, you'll likely find that your abundant Tower Garden harvests are more delicious and nutritious than grocery store produce.
Why? Well, much of what you'll find in the produce aisle is:
And the result is weeks-old produce with diminished flavor and nutrient levels that might even contain harmful chemicals. The result, frankly, can be food that isn't very good. (No wonder so many people think they don't enjoy eating fruits and vegetables!)
But here's the good news: when you grow your own, you can have produce the way nature intended — fresh, flavorful, nutritious and picked at the peak of ripeness.
And that sounds great. But many of us aren't "green-thumbed." Luckily, Tower Garden is…
Perhaps you've tried gardening in the past and were disappointed with the results. If that's the case, you might be skeptical — could Tower Garden really be any different? Well, yes, actually.
Listen, here's what you need to grow a Tower Garden: sunlight (or grow lights), electricity, water, roughly 30 minutes a week and about three square feet. Notice, we didn't list "previous gardening experience."
Seriously. It's that simple. And should it ever seem more complicated, you'll have access to an extensive library of growing resources and support from a dedicated customer care team.
We're in this together.
This exceptional ease of use is just one reason communities are embracing Tower Garden.
Growing a traditional soil garden isn't cheap. To do things right, you may need to invest in compost, fertilizers, pest control solutions, irrigation systems and premium soil. (Who knew dirt could cost so much?)
Then there are all the tools — gloves, shovels, hoses and so on. Oh, and raised beds? Don't even get us started.
Granted, Tower Garden isn't inexpensive either. But you should think of it as an investment in your health—one that will pay for itself quickly. In fact, an independent study found that a Tower Garden can grow food quickly enough to cover the expense of purchase in just six months. (Of course, your mileage may vary slightly depending on what you grow, seasonality, cost of produce and other factors.) And because we built Tower Garden to last — and you'll likely use it season-after-season — your return on investment just keeps getting better with time.
So Tower Garden is a smarter choice economically. But it's also a smarter choice environmentally, requiring only 10% the space and as little as 2% the water as traditional growing methods to grow 30% more three times as fast. (No wonder sustainability-minded farmers grow with Tower Garden!) And Tower Garden recycles — water and nutrients recirculate the closed-loop system over and over again.
Remember what we said earlier about grocery store produce being shipped? Well, that (in addition to produce packaging) leaves a pretty big carbon footprint — one that you don't contribute to as much when you grow your own produce with Tower Garden.
Long story short, with Tower Garden, you can feel good about your investment.

Baby wraps are a way for parents to carry their infants and toddlers.
The fabric tightly hugs your child around you, like another extra layer of clothing.The wrap was made to distribute your child's weight evenly over your hips, back, and shoulders, whereas carriers often put the burden on the back.
It's beneficial both for you and your child. It gives infants the support they need without sacrificing the parent's comfort.
Whether you're traveling, working at home, or you simply have to run a few errands, Boba Wrap allows you to easily carry your child while you move around.
If you want to find out more about Boba Wrap, we'll be reviewing its benefits and how different it is compared to other brands.
Before you continue, you may want to check out this video of Heidi Johnson on YouTube that gives a quick review. After, you'll want to read the rest of our article for a more comprehensive review.
What is Boba Wrap? Boba Wrap Video Breastfeeding
Boba Wrap was founded by husband and wife Elizabeth and Robert Antunovic. It started back in 2007 when their family was traveling across Europe. Since then, they've now grown to accommodate tens of thousands of customers across the globe.
They are even certified as hip-healthy for infants by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. The baby's spine and hips are well protected because the wrap helps properly position them.
Their first product — the Boba Wrap, is a sort of stretchable fabric intended to carry the infant. This allows the babies to be as close as possible with their parents or caregivers. The babies will get the warmth and comfort they need as they snuggle closely to their parent's chest.
A parent's scent is among the most comforting things for a baby. Top it off with getting warmth and hearing your heartbeat, and you will have one happy baby.
It's ergonomic and breastfeeding-friendly. You can still use them even if your child is already a toddler but they work best when used in newborns. Aside from Boba Wraps, they also offer Boba Carriers and even accessories.
The website also provides wrap tutorials and tips, which is helpful for those who've never tried using baby wraps.
What is Boba Wrap made of?
Boba Wrap is made from a blend of fabric having 5% Spandex and 95% cotton. These two materials make it soft and pliable.
For reference, the Boba Wrap is about 5.5 yards long. Even though it's stretchable, it's not as elastic as other substances, which is just fine as it's sufficient to carry your infant. The best thing about this is that even with repeated use, it will not snag. You will be able to use the wrapping until your child reaches 35 pounds.Some parents found no issues when they it on their toddlers.
Although the fabric is breathable, the mix of cotton and spandex can make it too warm to wear during the hottest days of summer. Otherwise, it is perfect to be used outside in colder weather. It provides you and your kid enough warmth. Just make sure that your child is wearing light clothing if you are intending to use it during summer.
Cleaning is also easy because of the material. Additionally, it dries quickly, and it is easy to put it on your bag when you are not using it. It doesn't take up too much space like the other things on your baby bag.
Boba Wrap gives you 11 options. You can select from 9 different colors and 2 prints.
Colors include light grey, bloom, vintage blue, sangria, navy blue, dark blue, and dark gray. If you are not into plain colours, they've included a wrap with polka-dotted prints and another one with rainbow patterns.

How does it fare to other wraps?
Boba Wrap aims to provide comfort to the parent and the child without having to sacrifice quality and durability. However, Boba Wrap is not the sole baby wrap that offers these. It can be tough to choose, especially for those who have a baby to take care of.
In this section, we will have a look at how Boba Wrap performs against other competitors. For this review, we selected two of the most popular — Moby Wrap and Solly Baby.
Boba Wrap vs. Moby Wrap
The Moby Wrap is made of 100% cotton and is approximately 6.6 yards long. It can carry babies that weigh from 8 pounds to 35 pounds. It can also be machine washed.
The cotton makes the wrapping more breathable and comfortable during warm days. It can stretch also, so that you can use it until your baby becomes a toddler.
Moby Wrap also enables parents to configure the wrapping in four different ways. This makes it more accommodating as your child grows. It is possible to use Moby Wrap to carry them facing inwards, at the front, or on the hips.
If you compare the material, Moby Wrap is more comfortable in terms of breathability. Concerning thickness, the Boba Wrap is thicker than the Moby Wrap. The latter is more suitable to be utilized during the hot summer months so that you and your infant will be comfortable.
However, the Moby Wrap doesn't have a lot of room for stretchability compared to Boba Wrap. With the Boba Wrap, it is possible to tie it a tight as you can because it will easily stretch as soon as you put the baby inside the wrap. This is much easier to deal with compared to Moby Wrap, where you have to tie it just right since it doesn't stretch as much. Plus-sized parents also find the Boba Wrap more accomodating. It is also easier to use as your child develops.
Additionally, Boba Wrap's weight range accommodates babies from 5 pounds up to 35 lbs. On the other hand, Moby Wrap ranges from 8 pounds to 35 lbs. The stretchability factor of Boba Wrap makes it easy to be used by infants which are beyond 35 pounds.
Both products are great and both have very good strong points. But if you're looking for something more versatile, we'd recommend Boba Wrap.

Boba Wrap vs. Solly Baby
Another wrap carrier that has become popular over the recent years is Solly Baby. They are also recognized by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute for being hip-healthy. The same as Boba Wrap, this one is at 5.5 yards. It may carry up to 25 pounds.
The material is made of 100% Lenzing Modal. For those people who aren't familiar with the fabric, it's made from Austrian Beechwood tree pulp. This Austrian fabric is then weaved and processed in L.A.
Compared to cotton, Lenzing Modal is much more breathable. It can circulate air better than most fabrics since it's lighter. Additionally, it is moisture-wicking, so it can keep you cool during summer while keeping you comfortable during winters. Boba Wrap Video Breastfeeding
However, compared to Boba Wrap, Solly Baby has a steeper learning curve. Even if there are tutorials available online, tying can be harder than Boba Wrap.
Additionally, the cloth can be too thin for some parents. Finding the right tightness when tying the wrap can be challenging too since it doesn't stretch as well as Boba Wrap's.
Though Solly Baby's fabric is sturdy, the thicker feel of Boba Wrap could be more reassuring for some parents. It is also more long-lasting from wear-and-tear.
Since Solly Baby can only accommodate up to 25 pounds, you might not be able to use it if your baby turns 9 months old. On the other hand, Boba Wrap can accommodate up to 35 lbs, which makes it usable until your child becomes a year old.
Pros & Cons
To help you decide whether Boba Wrap is recommended for you, we've summarised the pros and cons.
- Fabric is soft
- Elastic
- Durable
- Affordable
- Usable even by 1-year-old infants
- Recommended for plus-sized parents
- Wrapping has a learning curve
- Fabric can be too hot during summer
- Petite-sized parents will find it long
Bottom Line
The Boba Wrap is an excellent investment, whether you're a first-time parent or not. You can use it on your newborn baby until they become toddlers.
The material is durable and elastic. Because it's 5% spandex, it can make you feel warm. Make sure you and your baby wear light clothing on hot days. It is machine washable and dries fast. You can use it in various ways. Additionally, it's easy to store them.
Even though it is not perfect, the benefits of using Boba Wrap outweigh its flaws. It's durable compared to other baby wraps. It's comfortable not just for your baby but for you as well. Say goodbye to backaches! Boba Wrap Video Breastfeeding

Front Runners List: Click to see list completion progress by climbers that log their climbs using Peakbagger.com.
Compare Climbers: Click to compare ascents of up to 5 climbers working on this list.
2000 feet of prominence has become an informal threshold among U.S. prominence researchers that signifies that a peak has major stature. There are just enough of these peaks to keep track of them, and tallies of the number of peaks with prominence of 2000 feet (P2K) by state and region is used as a rough measure of mountainous ruggedness.
Edward Earl, Andy Martin, and others compiled lists of all the P2K peaks in the 48 U.S. states--a total of about 1200, with Nevada (169), California (163), and Washington State (144) having the most. Alaska is so huge and so mountainous that no attempt has been made to tabulate all the P2Ks there; instead, a 5000-foot threshold gives plenty of results. Western Canada is like Alaska--any attempt to find all the P2Ks would be a massive undertaking.
Therefore, I decided to find out how many P2Ks there were in eastern Canada. I figured that there were not too many--the highpoint of the Torngat Mounains, a few in the northern Appalachians, and the Newfoundland island high point. My guess was that there were maybe about ten.
When I started looking at the online topo maps of the Torngat Mountains, though, it became clear that there were scores of P2K peaks. I posted my preliminiary tally of about 40 or so, and over the next few months Richard Garland picked up where I left off, finding more Torngat peaks and exploring off into the other ranges of Labrador. I double-checked Richard's work using GIS software to help me make sense of the terrible online Toporama maps, and determined all the P2K peaks in the Canadian Appalachians. Together, Richard and I came up with this list of 73 peaks. Later work found about 10 more, so the total is now in the mid-80s.
This is an amazingly high number. This is more P2K peaks than in the eastern USA (78) or Colorado (81), and about the same as in Arizona or Oregon. Considering that the high point of the area is only 5420 feet, and most of it is very flat, this number is surprising. The glaciers really carved up the ranges of northern Labrador with deep gorges, exactly the kind of geologic action that produces high-prominence peaks.
This list should be over 95% complete at this point. Most summits have no names, so are designated by their elevations and map sheet names. Most of them have probably not been climbed yet. There are 10 peaks on this list in the greater Appalachian Mountains (south of the St. Lawrence): 7 in Quebec, 1 in New Brunswick, and 2 on the island of Newfoundland. Then there are 4 peaks in central Quebec, and the remainder are in Labrador.
Many thanks go to Richard Garland, who did an incredibly impressive job of helping me research these peaks, their elevations, and their prominences. We both spent hours poring over the terrible online GIFs from the Toporama web site, counting unlabelled contour lines, and Richard didn't even have the advantage of GIS software to help out! I especially thank him for inspiring me to continue work on this after I started to lose some interest. See his web site below for the most complete reference for the Torngats ever assembled.

There probably aren't many PC gamers who are big Ubisoft fans. In spite of owning a stable of massively successful franchises, including Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, Ubisoft has a long history of making life difficult for customers who play their titles on computers instead of consoles. PC versions of popular Ubisoft titles are released weeks or months after their console counterparts. Worse, Ubisoft PC games come saddled with onerous digital rights management (DRM), forcing reactivation after replacing a PC's video card or requiring the game to be continually online, as with Driver: San Francisco.
The times, though, might be changing a bit. In an interview with Rock Paper Shotgun, Ubisoft officials offer up several interesting revelations about their past statements on the efficacy of DRM and the future direction of the company's published titles. Right out of the gate, the company pulls the plug on the idea of always-on DRM for future titles. Stephanie Perotti, Ubisoft's worldwide director for online games, states, "We have listened to feedback, and since June last year our policy for all of PC games is that we only require a one-time online activation when you first install the game, and from then you are free to play the game offline."
This is a huge concession from a publisher widely regarded as being among the most PC-hostile in the business. RPS is quick to point out that just last month, Ubisoft's chairman and CEO stated that piracy rates on PC games were as high as 95 percent and that the free-to-play model was the only way to continue to draw revenue from the PC gaming market. High piracy rates have long been a rallying cry for publishers looking to apply increasingly draconian DRM to their titles. But there's obvious cognitive dissonance between Ubisoft's titles being buried under intrusive DRM schemes and simultaneously carrying a 95 percent piracy rate. It would seem the more it tightens its grasp, the more star systems slip between its fingers.
When asked about how to reconcile the gap—how can DRM be considered effective when the piracy rate is so high?—the response was evasive. "That," Perotti replied, referring to Ubisoft's statement that DRM is a success, "was an unfortunate comment."
The rest of the interview is a short but illuminating look at Ubisoft's take on PC gaming. The RPS interviewer is merciless, and hammers the two Ubisoft representatives on several points, even earning an admission from them that Ubisoft's failure to disclose its actual piracy numbers damaged its credibility and undermined the arguments in favor of always-on DRM in the first place. Still, the takeaway is positive: "We've listened to feedback, we will continue to listen to feedback, we will continue to make sure that we deliver great games and great services, and are now operating under this policy." says Perotti. "We've heard you. We've heard customers."
This is a win for gamers in general. Ubisoft stops short of acknowledging the assertion that restrictive DRM harms only paying customers—"I wouldn't say that, actually," comments Perotti—but a quick search around the underbelly of the Internet reveals that acquiring a pirated copy of Driver: San Francisco is pretty darn easy in spite of its fancy DRM. The path is clearing for less-restrictive DRM schemes on Ubisoft titles in the future, though, which can only be a good thing. In many ways, always-on DRM and limited activations are even worse than the bad old days of code wheels and Lenslok. I for one, definitely don't miss those things.

A Look at Senior Nutrition
Not everyone's nutrition needs are identical. As we age, our bodies and metabolism change. Although older adults still need plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fiber, they need to add or subtract a few things from the diet they followed earlier in life.
Many older adults have a decreased sense of taste and decreased absorption. They need to make sure they get enough water and nutrients, even if they must take supplements to get them.
Although we all should drink eight glasses of water a day, it's critical for older adults to factor in water because they have decreased kidney function and may not feel thirsty.
Adequate water intake helps avoid constipation. Older adults' digestive tracts don't work as effectively as they once did, making constipation more likely, and many older adults have dental problems that keep them from eating as much fiber as they need. Fiber also helps prevent constipation.
Consider supplements
Another possible addition to an older adult's diet is a vitamin and mineral supplement. Older adults often don't get enough calcium or vitamin D in their diet, and a lack of either of those can lead to bone loss and osteoporosis. Vitamin B12 is another nutrient that's often found lacking in older adults. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans report that, on average, people over age 50 get adequate vitamin B12 by eating fortified cereals. However, as the body ages, it becomes less able to absorb B12 from foods. B12 is critical for healthy nerve and red blood cells. Vitamin B12 supplements may be taken as a pill, an injection, or a gel applied to the inside of the nose.
You should discuss the issue of supplements with your health care provider. Older adults already purchase more supplements than other age groups. Unfortunately, false advertising leads them to believe that supplements will stop or curb the aging process.
Recent research indicates that many problems associated with the aging process can be slowed with a good diet. So the benefits associated with consuming a balanced, nutrient-rich diet are endless.
Other aspects of older nutrition
One good way to find out what you need in daily nutrition is to visit the USDA website, ChooseMyPlate.gov. The site asks for your age, gender, and level of physical activity to determine your daily caloric needs.
Choose My Plate, based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans from the USDA, encourages people to eat a suggested amount from five major food groups each day. The recommended amounts vary based on a person's age, gender, and activity level. If you can't eat the recommended amounts, at least try to eat something from each group each day. Choose lower-fat foods and include vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
The recommendations below are suggested amounts from the Dietary Guidelines based on daily calorie recommendations. Women over 50 should eat between 1,600 and 2,200 calories a day, depending on their activity level; men over 50 should eat between 2,200 and 2,800 calories, depending on their activity level. If you are physically active most days of the week, choose the amount in the middle or on the high end of the recommendation; if you aren't active most days, choose the lower end of the recommended range:
Grains: 5 to 10 ounces. One ounce equals one roll, a slice of bread, or a small muffin; a half cup cooked rice or pasta; or about a cup of ready-to-eat cereal. At least half of the grains you eat should be from whole grains.
Vegetables: 2 to 3.5 cups; include a variety of colors and types.
Fruit: 1.5 to 2.5 cups.
Low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt, or cheese: 3 cups of milk. One cup of milk equals one cup of yogurt, 1.5 to 2 ounces of cheese, or a half cup of cottage cheese.
Meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts: 5 to 7 ounces. Equivalent one-ounce servings of lean meat, poultry, or fish are a quarter cup of cooked beans or tofu; 1 egg; half-ounce of nuts or seeds; or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
Other tips for good nutrition:
Eat only small amounts of fats, oils, and sweets.
Fruits and vegetables are a real plus for seniors because they are lower in calories than other foods, yet high in nutrients, Fruit is much healthier for dessert than cookies or cake; yet many older adults indulge their sweet tooth with sugary treats rather than fresh fruit.
When eating is a problem
Some older adults have trouble getting adequate nutrition because of health problems or financial difficulties. If these are problems that affect you, there are steps you can take to ease them.
If you have trouble chewing, you might not be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, or meat. Instead, you might try the following ideas, from the FDA:
Instead of fresh fruit, try fruit juices or canned fruits, such as peaches or pears that are canned in juice, not syrup,
Instead of raw vegetables, try vegetable juices or cooked and mashed vegetables.
Instead of a chunk of meat, try ground meat, or protein alternatives, such as eggs, milk, cheese, and yogurt.
Instead of sliced bread, try cooked cereals, rice, and bread pudding.
If certain foods give you gas, try these alternatives:
Low-fat cream soups, pudding, yogurt, and cheese can take the place of milk. Lactose-free dairy products may also help prevent gas.
Green beans, carrots, and potatoes can take the place of broccoli and cabbage.
Fruit juices and canned fruits can take the place of fresh fruit. The same is true for juice and canned vegetables.
If you can't shop or cook for yourself, you can make other arrangements. Some groceries will deliver food at no charge; others charge a fee. A family member, friend, or church or synagogue group may be able to help with shopping. A senior citizen program in your area may deliver meals. You can use the microwave to cook already-prepared meals. You might consider moving to a place where meals are prepared for you--either with a family member or a senior citizens' center. Eating with other people also is a good way to encourage your appetite; eating alone can be lonely.
If money is a problem, here are some suggestions from the FDA:
Buy low-cost foods such as dried beans and peas, rice, and pasta.
Use coupons to save money on food.
Look for sales and store-brand foods, which often cost less.
Check with your church or synagogue to see if it offers free or low-cost meals.
Call a local senior citizen program about meal programs. You may be able to eat there or have meals brought to your home.
Find out if there is a Meals-on-Wheels program near you.
Get food stamps. The food stamp office is listed under your county government in the phone book.
Food safety
No matter what your age, it's important to treat food carefully to avoid foodborne illness. As you age, your sense of taste or smell may not always be able to tell you when a food is no longer fit to eat--when milk has soured or meat has spoiled. Your senses may be affected by medication that you take or by illness.
Your stomach also produces less acid. Stomach acid is a natural defense against bacteria you might have eaten. Your immune system also may not be as strong as it once was, making it more difficult to fight bacteria.
Here are food safety tips from the FDA:
Refrigerate or freeze all perishable food. Your refrigerator should be kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees Celsius and your freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or -18 degrees Celsius.
Never thaw foods at room temperature. Instead, thaw them in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave, and cook them immediately.
Wash your hands with soapy water before preparing food. Wash your hands, utensils, cutting boards, and other work surfaces after they come in contact with raw meat and poultry.
Never leave perishable food out of the refrigerator for more than two hours. If the temperature in the room is over 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius, the food shouldn't be left out for more than one hour.
Thoroughly cook raw meat, poultry, and fish.

TNB: Jail Food and Booty
Climbers will do anything for free gear. Just ask the author.
In 1979 my E.B.s were so blown my tube socks hung out the holes in the toes. I was desperate for new rock shoes, yet broke. They say that inspiration strikes at the
worst of times. Inspired, I wore the right shoe on my left foot and my left shoe on my right foot. Brand new crisp edges! Those E.B.s hurt, but they
hurt before I switched feet.
I needed nuts and carabiners, too. Whenever I heard about booty being left on a route, I'd take nearly any risk, including free soloing, to snag the treasure.
My climbing buddy, Rick Thomas, and I were so underfunded that for two weeks we ate nothing but potatoes, their slender green sprouts hinting at better
days. We fried spuds for breakfast, had leftover spuds for lunch, and roasted spuds whole in the campfire during the long autumn evenings when our
philosophical musings ranged from the uselessness of formal education to how you wouldn't get no potatoes cooked over a wood fire if you were in jail.
Our belay device was a single chain link scored at the hardware store for a nickel. Our heartthrob, a 150-foot 11mm rope, we pampered more than any girlfriend.
The only thing that was free back then was the climbing, and this we had in abundance simply by being the only two climbers within a hundred miles of a
mile-long granite canvas. Naturally, if someone had offered us a free rope or shoes or cams or even a block of chalk we would have questioned their
values—who gives away their holy relics?
Rock and Ice, that's who. For nearly a month starting last week, this magazine is giving away an item of climbing gear—ropes, shoes, tents,
helmets, cams and more—every weekday. Since technically we can't hold a sweepstakes, you do have to do a little work for a chance at the gear
by answering a mind-bender like: "How many cams are on a TCU?"
We're doing this to a) show our appreciation to everyone who continues to support us and b) to show off our new online Gear Guide. We used to print an
annual Gear Guide, but a few years back we noticed that consumers look for hard data such as weights and dimensions and sizes online, and so we began
the task of putting that data in a digital format that anyone with internet access can get to at any time, for free.
The Gear Guide is built now—additions including reviews and video will roll out in a bit—and we'd like for you to check it out and win the
gear that is piling up in big boxes around the office.
To do so, just go here. Enter, answer the question, and wait.
Each day's winner will be announced on rockandice.com the next day.
Rick and I would have been all over that.
